Summary
RATING: PG-13 for some sexual humor and a humorous drug reference
Starring Martin Lawrence, Elton LeBlanc, Nia Long, Michelle Parylak, Sarah Brown, Emily Procter, Zachary Levi, and Mark Moses
Martin Lawrence is back as the boldest, biggest and baddest Momma ever. This time, Lawrence transforms himself into Big Momma to avert a national security disaster. But saving the country is the least of Big Momma's problems, as he takes on his ultimate challenge -- being nanny/housekeeper to the suspect's dysfunctional family. (20th Century Fox)

Philadelphia Inquirer David Hiltbrand
BMH2 is a harmless, genial outing, a comedy that is amusing without ever rising to the level of funny. You sit through the film with a smile on your face, waiting for the laughs that never come.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Chuck Wilson
Mercifully free of excess mania, sexual innuendo and fart jokes, this sweet-natured comedy, ably directed by John Whitesell (Malibu's Most Wanted), has some nice bits of business.
Read Full Review >Village Voice R. Emmet Sweeney
Lawrence is an ingratiating performer, sarcastic and sentimental, and does inventive work with a swivel chair, a bathing suit, and steaming rocks. He's helped along by Emily Procter, who plays the overworked wife and should be freed from "CSI: Miami" as soon as possible.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Nicholas Fonseca
House 2 may never elicit more than mild chuckles, but when Momma teaches the Fullers a few lessons about family, it's heartfelt without being syrupy.

This could be the start of an awful new genre: Nannies Gone Wild.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Anita Gates
Inconsequential sequel for the undemanding moviegoer.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Ty Burr
Completely unnecessary but painless, like dentistry performed by mimes.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Robert Abele
This isn't your father's cross-dressing. At the same time, the science of comedy attains a new level of appreciation, since hardly anything about this sluggish sequel to the 2000 box office hit comes close to being funny.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Sheri Linden
If state-of-the-art cross-gender fat suits and drunken Chihuahuas were the stuff of comic genius, Big Momma's House 2 still wouldn't be very funny.
Read Full Review >Dallas Observer Staff (Not credited)
This is a sequel so bad that even Cedric the Entertainer and Anthony Anderson didn't return for it, let alone Terrence Howard and Paul Giamatti.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Ken Fox
Lawrence is a comedian with talent who rarely uses it for anything worthwhile, and here he makes a halfhearted, paycheck-collecting effort that's actually in perfect keeping with the rest of the movie's tired, recycled tone.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jack Mathews
If there is a casting agent in hell, Martin Lawrence and Tyler Perry will soon put on their fat suits as Big Momma and Madea Simmons and show up as a tag team in a big-screen Wrestlemania.
Read Full Review >Premiere Jessica Letkemann
All told, however, this bland little movie fits right into it's late January slot. It's a little bawdy - the fat-lady thong bit was funnier in "Shallow Hall" - and it passes the time.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader J.R. Jones
This is funny mostly for its brazen disregard of common sense.
Read Full Review >Variety Brian Lowry
So episodic and flat it should be a letdown even to those amused by the original.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Peter Hartlaub
The result is an incredibly disorganized movie with a few funny scenes -- most of which are revealed in the commercials.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin
There's something depressing about seeing the low-energy, family-friendly Lawrence sleepwalk through the film's sappy plot points.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten
It's a shame to once again witness Martin Lawrence squander his considerable comic talents under a fat suit and fake breasts in this shoddy sequel.
Read Full Review >New York Post Kyle Smith
If you experience any laughter while in the presence of this movie, it's a credit to your imagination. But if you can tickle yourself, why spend the $10.75?

Garbage. Juvenille. Dreck. Embarrassing. Abyssmal. A new word needs to be invented to adequately describe the depths of this failure.
